    Nurses don't save lives....WHAT?

    Lots of saves. It comes with the territory. Even in nursing school (practicals)! Just relish in the fact that this guy will get knocked down a peg or two soon.

    ACLS Certification

    It can be handy to have these certifications before applying to jobs. It makes you look better than the next applicant who doesn't have their ENPC, ACLS, TNCC, etc. OP: I am sorry that you have lost out on money and time. It's not fair to be taken ad...

    Targeted by psychotic, manipulative patient

    I totally agree with Bella's "Document, Document, Document" but would like to add, keep a copy for your records. This sounds very much like a ALF resident I had briefly. While not totally appropriate in every circumstance I would treat her like a to...
